In his posting my Cville pal Doug Day misspelled the name of the great historian David Hackett Fischer. A common error. To the despair of copy editors, it has a "c" in the middle. With GW's birthday coming up, I would urge folks who have not read Fischer's "Washington's Crossing" to run out and get it. A fabulous book.
